In this episode, host Daniel Leroux (@DannyLeroux) talks with Derek Bodner (@DerekBodnerNBA) of DraftExpress and Liberty Ballers about the NBA Draft prospects in the NCAA Tournament and the process for the Philadelphia 76ers. 

They work through the headliners (Jahlil Okafor, Karl Towns, Emmanuel Mudiay and D'Angelo Russell) as well as lottery picks and other players further down on the board while also evaluating Philadelphia's overhaul from Nerlens Noel to their recent trade of Michael Carter-Williams for the Lakers' valuable pick.

Joel Embiid has been getting back to his normal pregame work after a few games in which it wasn't quite as strenuous.

Embiid had reportedly gained weight earlier in the season, but he's looking fit, toned and explosive.

"He's ticking boxes in regards to increased time on the court, into reduced weight - his body weight is going down," Brett Brown said. "It's a good sign that you're feeling pretty good about yourself. How about that, you see him drenched in sweat, he takes his shirt off. All fantastic signs that his needle is pointing in the right direction. We're trying to set the stage for a great summer. He sees that his reward will be summer league and trying to get ready for playing basketball again. He's most definitely heading in the right direction."

Joel Embiid received good news on the examination of his surgically repaired foot.

Embiid had an impressive pre-game workout last Friday, but was later seen in a walking boot amid fears of a setback.

Embiid was back to working out normally on Wednesday.

"Everything is right on track," Brett Brown said. "It's healing at the rate we expected. He is allowed to dunk [laughter].

"They've increased the minutes that we can keep him on the floor [up to 60]. There is going to be some discretion that we use, in regards to how long we decide to work him out. We're going to be smart with trying to get his weight down, his conditioning up. Because we just received the news [Tuesday], there will be a plan with more detail in place for him that will be organized with K.J. [trainer Kevin Johnson], [assistant coach] Billy Lange and myself."

Joel Embiid has experienced a "minor setback" with his right foot and is in a walking boot.

Embiid was seen wearing a walking boot on Sunday.

Embiid dunked between his legs during a pregame workout on Friday.

The Philadelphia 76ers will need to figure out the roles of Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel when they play together to maximize their skill-sets.

Brett Brown believes Noel will play power forward on defense, while Embiid will be more of a power forward on offense.

"(Noel's) role changes quite a bit (when he moves to 4) with pick-and-roll defense," said Brown.

The Philadelphia 76ers have claimed Glenn Robinson III on waivers.

Robinson was waived this week by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Robinson was the 40th overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft.

Thomas Robinson has been traded three times and also placed on waivers by a non-playoff team in his short career after being the fifth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.

The Philadelphia 76ers claimed Robinson in order satisfy payroll-usage rules, but they've also given him a chance to play.

Robinson has averaged 9.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in 16.4 minutes (19.0 PER) of play off the bench in four games with the 76ers.

"I'm tired of getting treated like a rag doll in this league," Robinson said after his second game with the Sixers. "I just want to prove that I belong here. I'm tired of being treated like I've been treated in this league."

Robinson has been a healthy scratch for about 20 percent of his NBA games.

"Nobody's given me a chance," Robinson said. "That's pretty much it."

The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to waive JaVale McGee in time for him to sign with a playoff team.

McGee did not have to give any money back for the opportunity to play in meaningful games this season. McGee is owed $12 million for next season.

The 76ers acquired a future first round pick from the Denver Nuggets while taking on McGee and his contract.

McGee played in six games for the 76ers.

The San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets and Miami Heat are mentioned as possible destinations for McGee.

Update: McGee was officially waived on Monday morning.

Yahoo's Marc J. Spears reports ten teams, mostly playoff contenders, have already expressed interest in McGee.

JaVale McGee is discussing a potential contract buyout with the Philadelphia 76ers, according to sources.

Chances of McGee's buyout depends on McGee's ability to find a team to bring him in now.

McGee was traded to the Sixers from the Denver Nuggets.
